Collection: Donabe - Japanese Clay Pots

A donabe is the Japanese pot used to cook and serve nabemono, the shared hot-pot dishes such as shabu-shabu, sukiyaki or simmered vegetables and tofu. It goes from the stove to the middle of the table, so everyone can help themselves while the food stays warm.

Our donabe range

• Ceramic donabe (Seifa, Utaki), available in three colors, for hot pot and slow simmering.
• Donabe with steamer (Nara, Tenkawa): a ceramic pot with a steaming tier for dumplings, vegetables or fish. The Nara model comes in black or white and is suitable for microwave, oven, ceramic hob and gas.
• Donabe Kōtoku-in in aluminum alloy with a bamboo steamer, in four sizes from 20 to 32 cm wide.

Caring for a clay donabe

Let the pot cool down before washing it, avoid sudden changes of temperature and make sure it is completely dry before storing it.
